School change?

Hello,
Last february after asking for some advices i chose Oxford for distance ATPL. Now after almost 5 months I feel I am too slow in advancing through the subjects, maybe mostly because of me. Oxford material´s is great, as great as thick, I guess. I feel I am not going to finish all the subjects as scheduled. For those who know about the course, for example , phase one is split into 19 frames, each frame needs almost 15 hours of study as Oxford says but I am finding out that it needs more time, and it takes more than that just to listen to OXCEL , read the book and do some questions .....
As Oxford splits the subjects seems to be more logic, but phase 1 ends to be very heavy.
Do you think it´s crazy to change to Bristol at that point ?
Maybe the money I ve already paid (1500 GBP) is not a big problem since Bristol is cheaper (maybe 500 GBP less)
I ve always heard that Bristol´s material is ¨¨ lighter¨¨. Does that mean that we need extra references to be able to understand some concepts ?
What about Bristol and the new syllabus ?
Does Bristol have the 18 months limit to finish the distance learning as with Oxford ?
MAC and IPAD version of the ATPDigital are encouraging me a lot to change.

I urgently need your advices
